The play: The Beard of Avon
By Amy Freed
January 15 – March 9, 2008
Amy Freed’s bawdy, mind-bending comedy explores the question of the true authorship of Shakespeare’s plays. An aspiring young spear carrier (Will Shakespere) is enlisted by Edward de Vere (infamous murderer, lecher, and nobleman) to serve as his front man for the plays he wants to see mounted. But the questions arise – who actually wrote the plays? An uneducated actor who was losing his hair? Or the brilliant but tawdry Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford? Or was it Sir Francis Bacon? Or Christopher Marlowe? Or, dare we dream it, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth herself?
